Relationship between Maternal Central Obesity and the Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveNowadays, body mass index (BMI) is used to evaluate the risk stratification of obesity-related pregnancy complications in clinics. However, BMI cannot reflect fat distribution or the proportion of adipose to nonadipose tissue. The objective of this study is to evaluate the association of maternal first or second trimester central obesity with the risk of GDM.
resultsA total of 11 cohort studies with an overall sample size of 27,675 women and 2,226 patients with GDM were included in the analysis. The summary estimate of GDM risk in the central obesity pregnant women was 2.76 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.35-3.26) using the adjusted odds ratio (OR). The degree of heterogeneity among the studies was low (
conclusionsOur findings indicate that the risk of GDM was positively associated with maternal central obesity.
